If you see a Ford F150 without 5000 pounds being towed or at least 1000 pounds in the bed, then you can be pretty sure that the super car is wasted and the purpose defeated. The truck which traces its lineage to the 1950’s and has abilities that trucks made by other manufacturers cannot claim is indeed meant for a purpose and that is certainly not to pick groceries from the mall. The point here is that the Ford F150 which has been named the Motor Trend Truck of the Year for 2012 boasts of superior performance with fuel efficiency which might strike you as surprising considering the fuel guzzlers that this family of vehicles are. But, the big marketing push that Ford has intended with the Ford F150 is centered on fuel efficiency and that is achieved through the EcoBoost. The emission per mile is quite healthy at 1.06 lb/mi.
Without going into the feature by feature comparison with other models, it would suffice to state that the Ford F150 scores on most categories including the price that is quite attractive for a truck that delivers on payload as well as its power. The thrust that one gets from the truck is something that ought to be felt rather than described and believe me; the smooth transmission belies the amazing horsepower that the Ford F150 has. Coupled with the faster acceleration and the pickup, the truck is indeed a delight for those who need it for towing capabilities that are really good in this model. To cite figures, the 11,300 lb capacity for the Platinum EcoBoost SuperCrew model and the 9400 lb capacity for the XLT SuperCab 4WD are indeed impressive.
Needless to say the truck is elegant and stylish for its class and Ford has indeed worked hard on the interiors that are comfortable. The ergonomics have been taken care of in a well designed manner which gives you the benefit of a cool drive with power. The Ford F150 seats three and has a fold up bottom seats which give you a huge amount of storage space within the SuperCrew. You have a truck that works best when challenged and something that is built to perform and that is certainly an understatement. It is certainly a better pickup and indeed, the Ford F150 is meant for all seasons and you should buy it for all the reasons.
